Della Fera said Cid Torrez has cooperated with the investigation and is hopeful police will find his wife alive.

Cid Torrez lost custody of his children last month after the Department of Children and Families claimed it learned Cid threatened to use a gun to "end it all." The allegation came from Blanco, who said he heard it third-hand.

Torrez's attorney called the allegation untrue, saying the accusations by Vilet's family are not based on evidence but instead on years of dislike.

"You can see my client hasn't been arrested and that should say something about the voracity of (her) brother's allegations," said Della Fera.
